Roots are essential for supplying the plant ith water, vitamins and minerals. Through diffusion (not osmosis, because vitamins and minerals might be dissolved in the water), water is absorbed into the roots, and is transported into the plant.

Stem:
The stem gives the plant structure, while also transporting water (both up and down), vitamins and minerals to the leaves. The stem also ensures that the leaves get light, by growing taller, or in certain direction

Leaf:

The leaf is needed to supply the plant with food. Using Carbon Dioxide and water, along with sunlight, a process called photosynthesis occurs, by which Glucose and Oxygen is produced.

Fruit:

Sunlight is absorbed by the chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll, that is responsible for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the plants way of producing their nutrients which include glucose, which they then build up to form starch. The starch is stored in the vacuole.
Fruit: the fruits are mainly responsible for seed dispersion, which is a means of reproduction
Flowers: flowers are also essential for reproduction as they are the main reproduction organs, although plants also reproduce through seed dispersion. They attract different insects, which are part of reproduction as they carry the gametes to other plants, essential for reproduction.
Roots: roots absorb water and minerals from the earth through diffusion, which are essential for photosynthesis and for nutrition. The roots are made up of root hair cells which have a high surface area, in order to absorb as much water as possible. They do not contain chloroplasts.
Stem: the stem supports the plant and is responsible for transporting nutrients and water to the rest of the plant, which is essential for photosynthesis. It also allows the plant to take in light, as it grows towards the sun.
Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen

Additionally, they have a large surface area so as to absorb a lot of sun. 
Stem: The stem provides structure to the plant , holding up leaves for photosynthesis and flowers for pollination. They also transport water to the leaves. 
Fruit: Fruit are important as they are responsible for seed dispersion.
